STOOL STANDARD.

This invention relates to the supporting posts or standards for the stool seats of lunch rooms and the like, and in which said posts or standards have fixed attachment to the floor of the room, and the present improvement has for its object:

To provide a structural formation and association of parts in a seat post or standard of a composite nature and in which surfaces exposed to view and wear are of a metal material to provide a strong and durable article in an economical manner, all as will hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a stool standard embodying one form of the present invention.

Fig. .2 is a detail central sectional elevation of the same.

Like reference numerals indicate like parts i in both views.

In the present improvement the main body 1 of the standard or post is formed by a molded mass of hydraulic cement or con crete, within an outer protecting casing of the detail format-ion hereinafter described, and having a central orifice or bore formed by a core of paper or like as usual in casting operations.

The outer protecting metal casing above referred to is of a sectional character and comprises parts or sections as follows.

An expanded base portion or shell 2, preferably of an ornamental form, provided with an int-urncd flange 3 at its bottom edge and with an offset neck 4 at its top edge to form a lap joint with the lower edge of the upper portion of the protecting casing.

An upper shell or portion 5 of a tapering 40 form and having some length, with its lower end adapted to fit the offset flange 8 of the base portion 2, and with its upper end adapted for engagement with a bearing bushing as follows:

Serial No. 49,016.

An annular bearing bushing 6, formed with a depending annular skirt 7 adapted to fit within the aforesaid middle shell 5 and is provided with a marginal upper rim or flange 8 for bearing engagement upon the top of the shell 5. The skirt portion 7 is provided at its lower end with an inturned flange 9 to afford anchoring means between the bushing 6 and the concrete body or mass 1.

In the preferred construction shown the bushing 6 has a. centrally orificed top web 10 to form a hearing for adjacent parts of the stool seat in an'assembled condition of the stool parts.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. In a standard for stools and the like, the combination of a tubular inner member of a concrete composition and an enclosing shell of plate metal formed in sections and comprising a. base section and an upper section connected together by a lap joint and an orificed bushing fitting the top of said upper section and having a skirt portion em- V bedded in the aforesaid inner concrete member by anchoring means on the perimeter of said skirt portion.

2. In a standard for stools and the like, the combination of a tubular inner member 7 of a concrete composition and an enclosing shell of plate metal formed in sections and comprising abase section and an upper section connected together by a lap joint and an orificed bushing fitting the top of said uper section and having a skirt portion emedded in the aforesaid inner concrete member by anchoring means, the same comprising an inturned flange at the lower end of the aforesaid skirt portion.
